You cannot walk into a store with hopes of buying anything nearly as comfortable and well crafted as the hand-woven dresses we found in Ethiopia.

The fluffy white cotton that surrounds the plant’s seed is collected and woven into thread. As part of their daily routine.

There is nothing more pure than 100% Ethiopian cotton.

 Feel the weightlessness of the raw cotton as it touches your skin.

Sense the delicate breeze as the light and airy dress moves with the wind. Be rejuvenated by the warming sun as it reflects light off of the white fabric.

Moving from one continent to the next, positive energy and love flow freely between you and this breathtaking collection.

Simplistic design and intricate patterns make these dresses unlike any other.When you wear a piece from the Ethiopian Collection, you are wearing more than a dress; you are wearing the traditions, the beliefs and the spirits of each individual whose work has kept this tradition alive in Ethiopia.

Take a walk barefoot through rows of trees and overgrown grasses. Go on an adventure with friend through the busy streets of an unknown city.

Pack a suitcase of essentials, like a dress from FTWWL and spend a weekend full of joy and happiness, in the comfort of Ethiopian cotton.

You’ll be amazed by the larger-than-life colors, patterns, textures and designs we’ve created for individuals who dare to be different.

Find yourself camouflaged by the floral arrangements within the indigenous designs of Mexico’s Chiapas villages. Each blouse has a shape of its own. Symbolic for life, beauty and nature; this collection combines the world’s most precious and sacred materials.

The hand-stitched embroidery is made with dyed cottons matching earth tones of wildflower gardens and crashing oceanic waves.

Unable to wilt or fade, this flower collection has eternal life.

From Oscar de la Renta, to Stella McCartney and Alberta Ferretti; floral patterns are popping up in Spring 2014. You will feel like you are in your natural element when wearing these simplistic fabrics with your favorite shirt or on top of your bare skin.

The FTWWL apparel contributes to a life of love, happiness and peace.

Each time you put it, it’s worn a little different. You fasten a new knot, tighten your bow, or leave it dangling loosely—you wear the scarf as it wears on you, your emotions, your style and your sense of self.

You share in its beauty and find comfort in its embrace. You start to recognize its smell, its feel, each and every time its draped upon your shoulders.

What was once a part of nature has become a natural part of you.

Take a close look at the patterns, stitching and design of each tunic. No two are alike but when worn, you will look a beautiful and elegant as the Hill women themselves. Each tunic was dyed by hand, on natural silks. Creating the colors and detailed patterns takes precision and much practice. Using rich and fadeless colors such as red, indigo and violet, these tunics cannot compare to anything else.

Notice the rainbow of colored thread? That too is dyed by hand and woven individually, stitch by stitch. Using heartwood roots, barks, fruits and fresh leaves, each color is produced by pressing and concentrating the materials and bonding the fabric and dyes with a mordant.

Add beaded bracelets, a braided headpieces, charms and necklaces or nothing at all – these tunics can add to any look or make a statement on their own. More handmade tunics, shawls and scarfs from the tribes people of the Hill Tribe can be yours! The FTWWL store is you way of connecting with the people native to Thailand. by purchasing their goods you are contributing towards their efforts to continue in the production of traditional clothing and accessories.
